Construction Process

From the Anna K Tarot, the Queen of Wands; from the Meditation Cards, 'Focused Listening:'

          This Queen is on the move; her advice is that if you want to create something concrete with your passions, take action. Too much intellectual activity will deplete the progress that can help your project grow. Even her sunflowers need rain and amendments to the soil. Perhaps we worry that things won't work out as planned, which is why we often get stuck in the thinking stage. She reminds us that if we do things differently, then the result will likely be different as well.
          Focused Listening is paired with a quote from Rumi:

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear. 

Any project or undertaking generally requires contact or cooperation with others. Communication problems are caused by selective listening rather than comprehensive listening. We pick out what interests us and discard the rest, ignoring a person's tone or body language. Or, we are so busy with what we are thinking about (often about what we want to say) that we fail to hear important information. Attentive hearing, the Queen would tell us, is part of the construction process.
